About Us

The shared interest of a group of entrepreneurial and professional women to influence society in strengthening female entrepreneurship and careers is embodied in the WOMEN’S ECONOMIC CHAMBER.
After decades of experience in various fields of business and consulting, this group of women is able to synchronize knowledge, energy, and the desire to contribute, and pass this on to many other enterprises as well.

Gratë në karrierë e biznes përballen me sfida të mëdha në nivel lokal dhe global: studime të shumta flasin për aksesin e ulët të gruas në financa krahasuar me meshkujt, ndërsa në vendet në zhvillim, sfidat e gruas janë edhe më komplekse. Por, njëkohësisht gruaja është potencial i madh dhe burim i pashtershëm energjie. Pikërisht ajo që i nevojitet ekonomisë dhe vendit tonë.

Ndaj, qëllimi i shoqatës është mbrojtja e interesave ekonomike dhe sociale të grave sipërmarrëse, profesioniste dhe të vetëpunësuara nga të gjitha sektorët e ekonomisë dhe ofrimi I shërbimeve ndaj tyre përmes zhvillimit të politikave favorizuese per mbështetjen ekonomike dhe sociale, veprimtarive promovuese dhe zhvilluese, bashkëpunimeve kombëtare dhe rajonale, studime, botime, projekteve dhe konsulencave.
